The issue isn't on strike days however, it's every single day


unless drivers are messing around ?

TfL would have seen at least an improvement to late evening and Sunday services, with staff at each station until the last train as seen at Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park with integrated fares for example between East Dulwich and the tube without the penalty for changing at London Bridge.


Instead we're left with the farcical situation of Southern staying with the infamous GTR who have no incentive to improve services or improve staff relations as they do the dirty work of the government.

Not a silly question DaveR. I get on at Denmark Hill but same line (usually any time between 0845 and 0945). Yesterday, everything was late and today mostly on time. I was struck today by how it felt like the first time for ages that a train had been on time in the morning. I'm sure it will be back to normal tomorrow (i.e. a combination of lateness/cancellations/four coach trains.)

It's the last day today, if you use the Catford loop (from Nunhead, Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill, via Blackfriars) please add your name to the consultation, this is for the long term timetabling from 2018:

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
